Best burgers and cocktails in town. Period. Uncle Babe's is located in Patershol, Ghent - a…read morelocation known to have lots of interesting places for foods and drinks. The restaurant doesn't take reservations, so arrive timely or grab some drinks at the bar if you have to wait. BURGERS: Served with either potato wedges or onion rings (my personal favorite), each burger is very filling and super tasty. Make sure to look at the specials on the chalkboard, as they can really surprise you! COCKTAILS: I have yet to find a better mixologist in Belgium as the one in Uncle Babes. All signature cocktails on the menu are delicious, and whomever I take to the restaurant I always recommend them to order something of-menu. A friend of mine ordered a sambucca cocktail once, and - after asking just a couple of questions and trying the flavour again since he became unfamiliar with it - the mixologist made the most amazing creation just based on his gut feeling. A true recommendation for the burger and cocktail aficionado

It took awhile to get the burgers, but mostly because we were slow ordering from the QR code. Order to delivery time was good. The burgers and potato wedges were SO good! One of the better seasoned burgers I've ever had.

Close to downtown so within walking distance which is swell. Owners are super friendly. Yeah worthy of 5 stars. (I saw a local ordering a hot dog. Which is weird cause the burgers are very boutique and wonderful. So they must be good!)

Visited Ghent last week and stopped by for lunch since we wanted burgers and those we saw at…read morecustomer's tables looked very tasty. We weren't disappointed. Fresh burger buns tasty beef good fries and the prices were high but for a tourist area not outrageous. I should have asked if the iced tea was sweet, as I don't like sweet tea. It was...ah well... SO liked it just fine. Beer was cold & refreshing. Go in, place your order, pay and get buzzed when order is ready, then pickup your order & tables are outside or in. Friendly staff. We sat outdoors nice view, ate and enjoyed ourselves very much. If you're looking for burgers this is a solid option. I recommend you go before lunch crowd gets thick so you have best table choices. Have fun!

Thank goodness it was close to the awesome B&B I stayed at (shout-out to Room's B&B!). Nothing makes you work up an appetite like pedaling 40 km around the Ypres Salient. Especially when you haven't ridden a bike since you were a kid and you are currently a chubby American tourist. I wisely rented a bike from that strange bikingbox place that has absolutely no signage. It's a convenience store right on the same road as the Menen Gate and my favorite store in all of Belgium: Shop & Go! This yummy food cost only about 10 Euros. And it was delicious! The friendly lady who took my order recommended that I get the fries with mayo, because 'when in Rome...' I was pretty grossed-out by the mayo-dipped fries, but the fries alone were amazing. They were light and golden-crispy. Perfect! My burger had a bunch of toppings like cheese and bacon and such. I have never had a tastier burger. And the beer! I was so tired from biking, I went for the huge size. Thank goodness it was just a short walk back to my B&B. Great meal, great trip! I loved Ieper so much! I would go back in a hearbeat!

Let it be known that this is the best burger place I have found in Europe thus far. A variety of regular burgers but also several variation. I had the sweet chicken and husband had the Big Giant. We had zero complaints, and neither did our kids who got a free toy with their kids meal. Highly recommend as the first place to eat in Ypres.
